General support around managing the effects of the injury and the impact on the person, their family, friends and the wider community. We facilitate various support groups, education sessions, advocacy to ensure services and entitlements are in place. Many with an injury struggle with everyday things e.g. filling out forms, routines, memory issues

We provide education to the general public, agencies/organisations and tertiary students from the University and Polytechnic. We have developed an excellent network to assist the clients and their families.

Ella Stansfield and all her fantastic friends did an amazing job running either the full or half Dunedin Marathon on Sunday - Ella's wonderfully designed tee shirts caught everyone's eyes. Brain Injury Otago are so humbled and grateful for all these wonderful people running to raise awareness, and to all you wonderful people that have donated money in support of Ella. Thank you so much.
